Taking a Short Cut: Why You Need to Know Amber Rose

While other blogs are buzzing about the flamboyant style of Amber Rose, Kanye West's dynamic date du jour, we're obsessed with her buzzed haircut--and the moxie behind it.

Unlike, say, the sobbing shorn on America's Next Top Model, who think cutting your hair short is like losing an X chromosome (I'm looking at you Fo! Get over it!), Rose knows her regulation cut reflects major self-assurance—and shows off her striking face. "I'm pretty confident in my beauty, and I don't see a need to hide behind hair," she told Smooth Girl magazine. (FYI, before you go Googling that interview, the word "smooth" isn't meant to describe her haircut—the pictures in the mens' magazine are very NSFW.)

So for rockin' that close-cropped blonde cut, Amber Rose now joins Annie Lennox, Halle Berry, Eve, and Natalie Portman in our list of women who've made the wiffle sexy. Are you ready to join them?
